starting over

Why does it seem so hard to start over? I have been with my hubby for 5 years. 5 very long years. We have a daughter together, but he has never done a good job at being faitful to me. I left him back in May and stared to file for divorce. Lately it seems harder and harder to start over... my mom is complaining about us living with her ( my brother lives there too), I got laid off, etc. Why is it so hard to find a new beginning for my daughter and I?!?

I am sorry to hear about what has been happening in your life this year. I know it does seem hard for you & your daughter now but keep optimistic & you will be sure to get a decent break for a fresh start soon enough.

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this with your daughter. I had to start over so many times and it was never an easy thing to do. I now have a great husband though so it was all worth it. I know how hard it is to move on though. Believe me. I wish you and your daughter the best. It was only me and my daughter for a long time too.

You did so well to split up from your unfaithful husband. It is very such a shame that you got laid off from your job due to the recession. It is awful that your mom is complaining about you living back there. In a recession is is hard to find a new start. One of my friends came to the end of his temporary job and he now finds himself unemployed. He wishes to get a job anywhere in the whole country. Then he wants to have a new start. He is single but it isn't easy for you because you have your daughter. Good luck to you getting a new job and finding somewhere lovely to live with your daughter.

Yes it is not easy to start all over and when circumstance preclude us to do so right away makes it even harder. Concentrate on one step at a time. I know it is not easy with your mom complaining but remember your goal to move ahead and try and put her complaining to the side. Remember that once you and your daughter are on your feet, she will then miss you two around. You do not want to make too many quick decisions which will then make it harder for you and your daughter. Take your time and hope all goes well for you and your daughter.

I see that starting over again is one of the most difficult chapters in our life. I believe that whenever we find ourselves starting all over again, it's like we've reached another level in our life. These situations are usually a challenge for us to become more mature and stronger. Your husband should still support both of you especially the child even if you are already separated. It actually saddens me to hear such stories or situations like yours because the father wasn't responsible enough to raise a family and the sacredness of vows wasn't kept. I hope you'll be fine and your child as well. Just be strong and take courage.
